With the takeover now complete, Lowe can focus on building his squad for next term, when the Tigers will go up against the likes of Salford City and Tameside rivals Ashton United in the Evo-Stik Premier.

A Supporters Trust is now being established while volunteers were welcomed at Ewen Fields over the weekend to help freshen up the ground in time for the new season.

Kitchen added: “It is a great time to be a fan at Ewen Fields. We have got our ‘United’ name back and all the fans are doing amazing things to raise money to ensure the club has a secure future.”

John Bennett has leapfrogged the Evo-Stik Premier to join newly-promoted Curzon Ashton in the National League North.

The 23-year-old midfielder spent last season with Mossley in the Evo-Stik North and was named the Manager’s Player of the Year.

The former Winsford United man scored in this year’s Manchester Premier Cup final, which Mossley won on penalties against Curzon.

He’s now accepted the chance to test himself at a higher level with the Nash, who are playing in non-league’s second tier for the first time this year.
